I picked up some Gnome package upgrades last night during a pacman

most of the way through the login process, then craps out and falls
back to the session manager (LXDM). I'm not even able to see any
debug information about what's going on.
Anyone have a clue / pointer to a fix / workaround?
Thanks,

Not sure how much this helps, but I've just aborted an upgrade, mainly
because it looked as tough it was going to drag in most of gnome. Just
looking at the direct gnome sutff, this is what I've been looking at:
gnome-desktop-1:3.8.1-1 gnome-dictionary-3.6.0-2 gnome-font-viewer-3.8.0-1
gnome-icon-theme-3.8.0-1 gnome-icon-theme-symbolic-3.8.0.1-1
gnome-keyring-3.8.1-1
gnome-screenshot-3.8.1-1 gnome-search-tool-3.6.0-2 gnome-system-log-3.8.1-1
gnome-system-monitor-3.8.0-1 gobject-introspection-1.36.0-1
lib32-pango-1.34.0-1 libgee-0.10.1-1 libgee06-0.6.8-1
libgnome-keyring-3.8.0-1
libsoup-gnome-2.40.3-1 [removal] libtracker-sparql-0.16.0-4
libusbx-1.0.15-1
Prior to this upgrade, I had gnome-utils installed - the extras seem to
be baggage picked up by it. I'm going to have to work out whether its
really needed - I've no desire to have a huge stack of gnome bloat on my
nice Xfce system....
If you're having problems starting Xfce now, sounds like even more
reason to refuse the upgrade.
